I want to tell everyone about this wonderful, funny, and great looking short by Pete Oswald and written by Sandeep Sood. Here's a short synopsis The Story of Walls is an absurdest history of trade protectionism. 
We made this short film so that we could point out the obvious: protectionism is absurd. In ten minutes, our film takes you from ancient civilization to the modern day. Despite its breadth, we succeed in providing the viewer with a thorough education and understanding of our world’s economic history. We describe events that are intriguing, insightful, and mostly falsified. Pete, when did you start creating The Story of Walls? My partners and I came up with the concept in May 2009. Where is your studio located? Badmash Animation Studios is located in Los Angeles, San Fransisco and Pune, India.
